Pros

can learn a lot quickly if they are willing to let you. but not a place to remain long term.

Cons

Profit is the bottom line with complete disregard for employee satisfaction. they can always get new talent, just starting out for less money. mid-level continually leaves.

Pros

Good coworkers and supervisors. Billable work environments tend to be the same in terms of monotony, so it helps to have a good team.

Cons

Billable hours aren't the most fun thing in the world. Huge caseload.
